Tao Li

I am looking for highly self-motivated students from the ECE Ph.D. program at IUPUI. The RA positions are expected to start from Spring 2021 or Fall 2021. IUPUI engineering school offers Purdue degrees!!! If you are interested, please send your CV/resume, Transcripts, TOEFL score, and any other information that you believe is helpful for your application in one email to tli6@iupui.edu.

I received a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Arizona State University in 2020, a M.S. in Computer Science & Technology from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 2015, and a B.E. in Software Engineering from Hangzhou Dianzi University in 2012. My primary research is on security and privacy issues in networked/mobile/distributed systems, AI and machine learning, indoor localization/navigation systems, wireless networks, mobile crowdsourcing, mobile systems for disabled people, cloud and edge computing, and social networks.
